The combination of yogurt, fresh and light, with mascarpone, creamy and velvety, creates a soft and moist batter that melts in your mouth with every bite. With a simple approach but a balance of flavors that captivates, this cake is ideal to enjoy plain, or enriched with fresh fruit, jam, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar. If you’re looking for other soft cakes try the hot milk cake, the paradise cake, the cloud nene bundt cake or the 12-spoon apple cake.
